Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3190051A1] In one example embodiment, a strut (14) for mounting a jet engine (10) to a wing (12) of an aircraft includes a plurality of engine mounts (312, 316) and a space frame truss (600) supported from the wing (12) and comprising front and aft portions, the front portion (602) being coupled to and supporting the engine mounts (312, 316), the aft portion (604) extending upwardly and rearwardly from an aft end of the front portion (602). By removing the aft end of the strut (14) from the core exhaust zone (20) of the engine (10), substantial reductions in the weight and drag of the strut (14), and a corresponding increase in the specific fuel consumption of the associated aircraft may be achieved.
